[Intro]
~#**************#~
No, nothin good starts in a getaway car
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes
~#**************#~
I struck a match and blew your mind
~#**************#~
But I didn’t mean it and you didnt see it
~#**************#~
The ties were black, the lies were white
~#**************#~
In shades of gray in candlelight
~#**************#~
I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
“X” marks the spot where we fell apart
~#**************#~
He poisoned the well, I was lyin to myself
~#**************#~
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
~#**************#~
We never had a shotgun shot in the dark (Oh)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You were drivin’ the getaway car
~#**************#~
We were flyin, but wed never get far
~#**************#~
Dont pretend its such a mystery
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
Ridin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
~#**************#~
Shoulda known Id be the first to leave
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
~#**************#~
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-ah)
~#**************#~
No, nothin good starts in a getaway car
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
It was the great escape, the prison break
~#**************#~
The light of freedom on my face
~#**************#~
But you weren’t thinkin’ and I was just drinkin
~#**************#~
While he was runnin’ after us, I was screamin, “Go, go, go”
~#**************#~
But with three of us, honey, its a sideshow
~#**************#~
And a circus aint a love story and now we’re both sorry (Were both sorry)
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
“X” marks the spot where we fell apart
~#**************#~
He poisoned the well, every man for himself
~#**************#~
I knew it from the first Old Fashioned, we were cursed
~#**************#~
It hit you like a shotgun shot to the heart (Oh)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You were drivin the getaway car
~#**************#~
We were flyin, but wed never get far
~#**************#~
Dont pretend its such a mystery
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
Ridin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
There were sirens in the beat of your heart
~#**************#~
Shoulda known Id be the first to leave
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
~#**************#~
No, they never get far (Oh-oh-ah)
~#**************#~
No, nothin good starts in a getaway car
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (Oh-oh)
~#**************#~
Until I switched to the other side, to the other side
~#**************#~
Its no surprise I turned you in (Oh-oh)
~#**************#~
‘Cause us traitors never win
~#**************#~
[Breakdown]
~#**************#~
Im in a getaway car
~#**************#~
I left you in a motel bar
~#**************#~
Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys
~#**************#~
That was the last time you ever saw me (Oh)
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Drivin the getaway car
~#**************#~
We were flyin, but wed never get far (Dont pretend)
~#**************#~
Dont pretend its such a mystery
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
Ridin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
There were sirens in the beat of your heart (Shoulda known)
~#**************#~
Shoulda known Id be the first to leave
~#**************#~
Think about the place where you first met me
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus]
~#**************#~
In a getaway car (Oh-oh-oh)
~#**************#~
No, they never get far, oh-oh-ah
~#**************#~
No, nothin good starts in a getaway car
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
I was ridin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
I was cryin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
I was dyin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
Said goodbye in a getaway car
~#**************#~
Ridin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
I was cryin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
I was dyin in a getaway car
~#**************#~
Said goodbye in a getaway car
